Colorado Rockies (+110) vs. Philadelphia Phillies (-130)
Game 1: Wednesday at 2:37 p.m. ET
Regular Season Series: Philadelphia won 4-2
If you like home runs, you'll love this series. Philadelphia and Colorado finished first and second, respectively, in both runs and homers in the National League; if you're looking for a good old-fashioned pitcher's duel, look somewhere else. With names like Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Troy Tulowitzki decorating the lineups, bet the over and expect some football-like scores.

Boston Red Sox (-122) vs. Los Angeles Angels (+102)
Game 1: Thursday at 9:37 PM ET
Regular Season Series: Los Angeles won 5-4
It wouldn't be the postseason without Angels vs. Red Sox, would it? Boston toppled Los Angeles in 2004, 2007 and 2008, winning nine of 10 games. This year, the Angels are poised to give the Sox a better run with a productive lineup and deep pitching staff. Will it be enough to overcome the mental hurdle of beating Boston, which will answer with the likes of David Ortiz, Jason Bay and Josh Beckett?

St. Louis Cardinals (-140) vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (+120)
Game 1: Wednesday at 9:37 PM ET
Regular Season Series: St. Louis won 5-2
This series pits a brilliant pitching team against a superior hitting team. Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday are St. Louis' only threats to score but, with Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright and Joel Pineiro, its rotation is unmatched. Since the Dodgers' young arms regressed somewhat this season, they'll have to rely on a powerful lineup where everyone can hurt you—including slugger Manny Ramirez.

Minnesota Twins (+300) vs. New York Yankees (-380)
Game 1: Wednesday at 6:07 PM ET
Regular Season Series: New York won 7-0
After winning a league-best 103 games, it's no surprise the Yankees are World Series favorites. New York set a team record with 243 home runs this season, led by Mark Teixeira (39 homers), Alex Rodriguez (30) and Nick Swisher (29). The Twins are one of the hottest teams in baseball, winning 17 of 21—including a play-in game against Detroit. But, after being swept by the Bronx Bombers this season, even their best effort might not be enough.
